"As it is the modern times of 2024". Definitely not.

Look at the US election campaign 🤣.

I don't understand what you complained about.

In which country do you not have to do this?

The bank employee may have been annoyed and did not read the documents properly.

I suspect that the banks in Bangkok recently issued an internal directive not to open bank accounts on the basis of a tourist visa.

Since dozens of tourists still come every day and want to open a bank account with a tourist visa, the bank employees are getting increasingly annoyed.

The fact that so many people still want to open a bank account in Bangkok with a tourist visa is also because in Facebook groups like this one, many people still claim that it is easy to open a bank account in Bangkok with a tourist visa.

Take control over your own life and ignore such comments.

Serious visa agency make your life more stressless.

It's amazing how many wannabe experts here in the fb group call other opinions stupid.

Everyone's circumstances are very different.

For example, there are the different tax systems in their home countries.

There are countries that tax pensions and assets.

But private circumstances can also be a reason to leave your home country forever and take your assets with you.

And then there is the situation where your life circumstances suddenly change and you move from a tax-friendly country to Thailand.

I think deregistering in my home country has saved me several tens of thousands of dollars in taxes and insurance so far.

I probably won't pay that much tax in Thailand in the next 10 years.

But maybe my life circumstances will change again and I'll move back to a tax-friendly country while continuing not to pay taxes in my home country.

Thank you. Very helpful. I will try it. I read on the tm30 io website that fees only apply after the fifth use.

I read many different posts about this issue.

Finally I thought that I must do TM30 always 24h after re-enter Thailand.
